Just guessing by the photo I would say, .22 WRF AKA .22 Remington Spl. Will be interesting to see after others come around.

Looks like a WRF to me as well......I didn't measure one, but it looks to be.

Sounds like we have a winner. 22 WRF. Thanks guys.

SGTM - put this reference on your computer and the next time you find a stumper, even in the middle of the night ... all the details needed to identify over 1000 calibers

Thanks John Boy. Stuck it in my favorites.
Now the question becomes do I shoot them in my 22mag Ruger single six. Sell or trade them off. Or look for a new gun. Seems a bit nuts to buy a new gun for 33 rounds but I have been known to do stupider things.

If it's new production stuff (at least 2 companies do runs every few years) and it looks like it is, just shoot it in the .22 mag SS, if it's older stuff, sell or trade it off. If you're anything like me, buy several guns for the cartridge, and then never be able to find ammo again.
